A detail of my Tinkerbell sketch, [link] colorized in about 15 minutes while eating lunch. Photoshop is the best.

Because some people are misunderstanding what this is:I did a convention sketch of Tinkerbell, using grayscale COPIC markers. One day, while having lunch, I qucily colorized it. It's not some boast about my PS skills; I was just making a point about how easy it is to colorize a piece when all the hard work has been down in the grayscale stage.

Ahnnn... I teach drawing (anatomy, perspective and fashion design) and I graduated in Fine Arts, Engraving. I though I was only color illiterate at first. Then I started thinking I was color blind. However, separating color from shading was stupid, really stupid. Well, thank you so much for sharing your art with unworthy people like me: color illiterate, color blind and stupid.

1st- if u dont have any kids please adopt me... i wash your car in exchange of some osmosis knowledge.2nd- the marker tinkerbell is just insane...i love the power and the tricks of the cold/warm markers. i know it must be as natural and easy as killing moskito to you but its still awsome...its like...for real..its still really hard for me to control those damn markers.anyway.. i wish i can draw like this when i grow up...thanks for your legacy!cuz art never goes away.

I just use a brush set on Lighten, and I pick a color (on the lips, or the outline) that is still dark, but not that muddy black that you get when you start converting Grayscale scans to color. I then just use the Brush to paint away those darkest, muddy black pixels and leave a nice rich dark color. Since it's set to Lighten, it doesn't affect any pixels lighter than the one I've selected as my Foreground color.

You usually do a great job Mr. Hughes, possibly one of the most iconic artists in contemporary comics. But with this detail shot, I find the eyes too wide apart and slanted, and the chin too small, which reminds me of some physical features found in people with Down syndrome.

I am sorry for saying this and I hope the community and the artist can accept my apology for stating my opinion of how I see this picture.
